April means spring?

It is April now, spring can't decide if it wants to stay though. The weather alternates between snow flurries and 60 degrees. Here are David and Kindle checking out one of the nice days:


David celebrated his first Easter last weekend, he thought playing with the plastic eggs was great fun:

I cooked a ham and Kelly and Mike came over for dinner.
Today Shana and Ben came to visit, Ben is now bigger than David, but they are both growing very fast.

Rolling!

David rolled from tummy to back for the first time Monday, and thanks to Robert's idea to set up a tripod we caught the second time (today) on video.

3 months already

Three months today!

We went to the Los Alamos children's resale this morning, it wasn't as big as the fall, but we still found plenty of toys and clothes for David.

Who is eating who?
Since David is getting more excited by toys we thought he might enjoy his jumparoo:

Back to work

Now that David is 12 weeks old my maternity leave is up. I started back to work on Monday, I'm just working the afternoons, 12-6 and Robert is working 7-4:30 except Wed when he gets off at 11. Robert's mom is watching David while we are both at work. So far everything has been going smoothly.
David and I have been taking a baby sign language class. The class is fun, we learn signs and sing songs. The teacher tells us that if you are consistent babies can learn to recognize signs at 3 months, but they probably won't start signing back until 6 months. Right now I'm mostly just using the "milk" and "play" signs.

David has become a lot more interested in toys this last week, the spinning ones on his bouncy chair are his favorite:
Here is David watching his mom and dad eat dinner (he got toys after the picture was taken):
I tend to get excited about different items, for a while it was finding the perfect cloth diapers, now it is baby carriers. I have been using the Moby, a stretchy wrap, since week 1. I've tried pouch sling, and can use them for a bit, but they don't feel as secure. So I've started trying others.
Here is David in a Gypsy Mama gauze wrap:
Robert with David in a Beco Butterfly II:I have another wrap on the way, I'll post pictures one of these days.

2 months and sleeping in the crib

David got his first set of vaccinations on Wednesday, he hated it, but got over it quickly. He weighed 13lbs 4oz and was 24.25" long.

I won a diaper and wetbag on The Cloth Diaper Whisperer blog, I'm excited. They have a weekly giveaway, and this is a pocket diaper (our favorite kind) that we haven't tried.

Last night we moved David to the crib. Until this point he has been sleeping in a bassinet in our room, but is just getting to long. It went pretty well, he only woke up once, which he does sometimes anyway

David is starting to figure out his hands and has been chewing on them a lot. He has started batting at toys and likes to grab blankets and put them in his mouth.

First race

David is 2 months old! Time is flying by and my little boy is growing fast.

Here he is hanging with Daddy:
Celebrating Mom's 29th birthday:
This just made me laugh:

The three of us did a 5k in Albuquerque this morning, it was David's first post-birth race (I did a half-marathon at 10 weeks pregnant). I don't have any pictures but he did great and slept the entire race. We stayed last night at Nathan and Jessica's, it was David's first night away from home (since the night he was born) and he wasn't phased a bit.

6 week appointment

We had our last appointment at the midwifery center this past Tuesday. Even tough I started going there late in my pregnancy I still enjoy going for appointments and am a bit sad to be done. We saw Marcy, who taught our birth class, so that was nice. David and I both got a clean bill of health, he weighed in at 12lbs 2.5oz and was 23.75" long.

David has been busy practicing his smile this week:

We had a pretty good snow storm this week, the lab sent everyone home early then delayed opening the following day.

Just looking cute, as always!
